Ability to control a Twitter Account

[shamil]

I think a good social networking feature would be to allow users or a user group have posting abilities etc, to a, or several Twitter account(s).

Not sure where this came from though.

why? wouldn't this divert them from posting on your forum?

Can you explain a little more, please?

I can see value in tweeting out a new topic but one must be careful with such a feature as it quickly turns to spam. You can easily plug up the boards RSS feed to a Twitter account but you will win no friends sending out dozens of links an hour or day. People get desensitised to it quickly. It's far better to have a feature that tweets out a few links a day but then you're better off manually doing this as you can select topics better than any algorithm.

We do this often if a 'tweetable' topic comes up.

I don't know how I posted this here, it was meant to be posted on my intranet :/

I don't think IPS would implement this, since the idea may be too specialised.

It's probably more of a feature for business and the like.


Basically, it would give specific user groups or users the ability to post and see tweets from a Twitter account. It's more like an integrated Twitter client.
